Joseph has yet to gain a pound since his surgery 2 months ago. We battled to get authorization for a gastroenterology evaluation and received it. The gastro (GI for his stomach and abdomen) agreed with our cardiologist Dr. Chang (Chief of Cardiology at CHOC) that Joseph needed nutritional supplementation on a daily basis. Today we received a letter in the mail from CCS (California Children's Services) that approves Joseph for 2 cans of Pediasure every day for the next six months. The pharmacy said we could pick it up tomorrow! Praise Our Lord that Joseph loves the chocolate. We pray this will help Joseph in a turning point to gain back the weight he lost and desperately needs.
We also received the medical records for Joseph and Michael from their previous endocrinologist for their Growth Disorders, which is a blessing. Unfortunately, the information and doctor notes are limited and will not help get Joseph into endocrinology for his Growth Disorder, which is well below the 3rd percentile. I am glad to have them anyhow.
